23/M/Nigeria Life is poetry, savor every verse..!?
He carries the weight of his family's name, A burden shared, yet borne alone in pain, Expectations high, a path to claim, Fear of failure's sting, fear of success's flame. His heart beats with the weight of others' deeds, He takes the blame, while hiding his own needs, A selfless soul, with emotions unspoke, Shining dimly, in the dark of every cloak. In silence, he seeks attention's gentle gaze, His heart conveys the depth of his unspoken ways, A longing for understanding, for someone to hear, To break the chains of expectation, and wipe away his fear. His parents' hopes, a heavy load to bear, A weight that presses, a heart that's aware, Of every step, every move, every choice, A life lived under scrutiny, a constant, anxious voice. Yet, in his silence, there's a story untold, Of struggles faced, of battles bold, A tale of resilience, of strength untapped, A hero's heart, though worn and weary, still intact. In the depths of his soul, a fire burns bright, A flame that flickers, with every step of the night, A desire to be seen, to be heard, to be known, To shed the weight of expectations, and find his own way home.
